Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.
耶和華如此說： 你們當守公平，行公義； 因我的救恩臨近， 我的公義將要顯現。
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
謹守安息日而不干犯， 禁止己手而不作惡； 如此行、如此持守的人便為有福。
3 And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.
與耶和華聯合的外邦人不要說： 耶和華必定將我從他民中分別出來。 太監也不要說：我是枯樹。
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,
因為耶和華如此說： 那些謹守我的安息日， 揀選我所喜悅的事， 持守我約的太監，
5 Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.
我必使他們在我殿中， 在我牆內，有記念，有名號， 比有兒女的更美。 我必賜他們永遠的名，不能剪除。
6 Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
還有那些與耶和華聯合的外邦人， 要事奉他，要愛耶和華的名， 要作他的僕人－ 就是凡守安息日不干犯， 又持守他約的人。
7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
我必領他們到我的聖山， 使他們在禱告我的殿中喜樂。 他們的燔祭和平安祭， 在我壇上必蒙悅納， 因我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿。
8 The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
主耶和華， 就是招聚以色列被趕散的，說： 在這被招聚的人以外， 我還要招聚別人歸併他們。
9 All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.
田野的諸獸都來吞吃吧！ 林中的諸獸也要如此。
10 Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.
他看守的人是瞎眼的， 都沒有知識， 都是啞巴狗，不能叫喚； 但知做夢，躺臥，貪睡，
11 And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.
這些狗貪食，不知飽足。 這些牧人不能明白－ 各人偏行己路， 各從各方求自己的利益。
12 Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.
他們說：來吧！我去拿酒， 我們飽飲濃酒； 明日必和今日一樣， 就是宴樂無量極大之日。
